The purpose of this essay is to identify the theological comprehension of the Word as Creator in the action of the Trinity, which Thierry of Chartres (12th century) offers in his Tractatus de sex dierum operibus. In his brief and synthetic explanation, he makes coincide the findings of human reason with biblical notions, such as Figure and splendor, Wisdom, Truth, Word, not as a mere sequence but in their deep and relational meaning. Thierry’s rational method is deductive-mathematical, whereas the philosophical premise is the rerum universitas articulated in levels of necessity and possibility. All this allows creation to be considered as explication of the complicatio—or multiplicity produced by unity— which is typical of the chartrian neoplatonism, with the characteristic seal of Thierry.

The Trinity

AbstractThe doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the product of divine revelation, and is a doctrine of divine worship. The expressions of this doctrine come out of worshipful response to divine revelation demonstrating the social nature of the Trinity and God's incorporating the human creature in His own sociality and personal pluralism. The perfect social union between God and the man and woman that he had created was disrupted by human sin. God redeemed the fallen creature, and at the heart of this redemptive experience lies the doctrine of Holy Trinity, with the Holy Spirit as the communing agent of all the experiences of salvation. The Spirit is especially active in the provision and fulfillment of sanctification, which is presented here as the continuum of 'holiness-unity-love'. He produces the graces of the Holy Spirit – the fruit of the Spirit. He implants the Seed of the new birth which is the word of God. He purifies by the blood of Jesus. He establishes union and communion among believers and with God through His Son Jesus. This is holiness.

Pascal argues that a genuinely divine religion would not be contrary to reason, but that it would contain elements beyond the reach of human reason (a fully comprehensible religion might well be a human invention). Christianity contains such elements, mysteries (such as the doctrine of the Trinity), and miracles. Hume’s objection to miracles cannot carry conviction with anyone prepared to accept the concept of an interventionist God, and the Pascalian seeker is in this position. It is reasonable to take some beliefs on authority, but to do so in cases where personal judgement is legitimate is superstition.

Working Backwards

It may sound a bit presumptuous to speak of the architecture of a dogmatics which is not yet complete, but the size and scope of Professor Barth's Church Dogmatics to date would seem to justify our attempt to examine its outer structure in order to discover the basic dynamic principles involved in this Protestant ‘Summa’. In following this procedure, however, we should be aware that we are working backwards, for, unlike the many dogmatics in which the Christian Faith has been forced into a pre-established mould, Professor Barth has been willing to cast the mould in accordance with the demands of the Faith itself. This is not to deny in any way the obvious human element involving meticulous planning and unusually sensitive organisational skill, but is to state clearly that the Church Dogmatics is not a system conforming to the dictates of human reason, but is a bold yet humble attempt to write a systematic theology which conforms to the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. As such, the architectural plans must necessarily result from obedient and faithful listening to the Word of God spoken to the Church, and all future designs must remain fluid and prepared for unexpected changes.

Em artigo publicado em 1909, Pierre Duhem “acusou” Nicolau de Cusa de haver “plagiado” Thierry de Chartres. O que chamou a sua atenção foi o fato do De opere sex dierum libellus de Thierry se concluir com uma doutrina trinitária, de aparência pitagórica, na qual a eternidade de Deus se deduz da unidade, enquanto que a geração do Verbo pelo Pai é comparada à produção da própria igualdade pela unidade. No caso do Cusano, essa mesma doutrina aparecerá no primeiro livro do De docta ignorantia (capítulos VII e VIII). Não pretendemos aqui aprofundar nem a doutrina trinitária de Thierry e nem a de Nicolau, mas oportunamente mostraremos que Nicolau de Cusa se apropria dos termos Unitas-Aequalitas-Connexio a partir dos quais especula sobre a Trindade e que o juízo de Duhem sobre a relação entre os dois pensadores precisaria ser repensado.Abstract: In an article published in 1909, Pierre Duhem “accused” Nicholas of Cusa of having”plagiarized” Thierry of Chartres. What caught his attention was the fact that Thierry of Chartres’ De opere sex dierum libellus concluded with a Trinitarian doctrine of Pythagorean appearance, in which the eternity of God is inferred from the unit, while the generation of the Word of the Father is compared to the generation of equality by oneness. In the case of Cusano, the same doctrine appears in the first book of De docta ignorantia (Chapters VII and VIII). We do not intend here to further the authors’ Trinitarian doctrine, we will show, however, that Nicholas de Cusa employs the terms Unitas-Aequalitas-Connexio from which he speculates on the Trinity and that Duhem’s opinion on the relationship between both thinkers ought to be rethought.

The Trinity

Thierry of Chartres, who taught at Paris and Chartres in the mid-twelfth century, was a polymath and a Platonist. The Heptateuchon, a large and ambitious collection of texts for teaching the liberal arts, testifies to the range of his interests from grammar, logic and rhetoric to mathematics and astronomy; they also stretched to theology. To Thierry is attributed an explanation of the account of creation in Genesis, after God’s initial action, in physical terms. He also used arithmetical analogies to illustrate the Trinity and, drawing on a variety of Platonic and Neoplatonic sources, analysed the relationship between God and his creation.

This chapter examines the limited capacity of human reason to make sense of a complex world, and how this expresses itself in the notion of ‘mystery’. How does being receptive to mystery help us cope with our complex world? The concept of mystery is explored with particular reference to Gabriel Marcel and Austin Farrer, and as this is expressed in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. The chapter considers whether a ‘mystery’ is simply a synonym for an ‘irrationality’, or whether it can be seen as a recognition of the limits placed upon the human mind to grasp a vast and complicated universe. What are the scientific and theological consequences of the limited capacity of the human mind? How can we expand our grasp of reality?

‘America's theologian’: an appreciation of Robert Jenson's Systematic Theology, with some remarks about the bible

Robert Jenson's two-volume Systematic Theology is a highly creative and individual synthesis of a number of often divergent strands of contemporary theology. An ecumenical and trinitarian theology, it is also a theology of narrative, hope, and of the word. The main body of this article attempts a sympathetic paraphrase of the argument of this work section by section. In a more critical ‘postscript’, it is argued that ‘word of God’ language is appropriate to the bible's twofold canonical structure, and that the appropriation of the beginning, middle and end of the biblical narrative to the first, second and third persons of the trinity respectively results in an undue bias towards eschatology.

The Trinity

In the mainstream Christianity, revelation of God manifests in Jesus Christ, in his blood and flesh. Jehovah's Witnesses, as a sect in Christianity, believes that the revelation or word of God is fully Bible, and not Jesus as in the mainstream Christianity. Bible is revealed by God directly so it is accurate. It is also belived as The Book of God's Thought because was written in His guidance. This concept of revelation has serious implications to the dogma of the Trinity. Based on Bible, Jehovah's Witnesses believes that God is not the Trinity, but God is One God and One Person named Jehovah. Jesus also is not part of the Trinity. Indeed Jesus is believed as God's word, but as a speaker of God. He is also believed as the son, as God fiirst creation. by God. Therefore, Jesus is a creature of Jehovah and is not God, so is not part of the Trinity.

The Trinity

Barth’s Church Dogmatics is the most extensive theological work of the twentieth century. Barth worked on it from 1932 until 1967, reconceptualizing theology from the very foundations. He distinguishes three forms of the Word of God, avoiding a biblicistic reading of the Bible. The doctrine of the Trinity is a consequent exposition of the concept of God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ. This God is the one who loves in freedom, that is who relates to human beings because of grace. Barth therefore completely transforms the Reformed doctrine of double predestination. The doctrine of creation as well has to be derived from God’s self-revelation; God created the world because God wanted a covenantal partner. To this creation belong shadow sides as well as nothingness. God in Jesus Christ entered the confrontation with nothingness and reconciled the world with God. Only from reconciliation can we understand the essence of sin.
